Definitions of Key Terms
SWOT Process: SWOT stands for Strength, Weakness, Opportunity, Threat. A SWOT analysis was used to guide our focus group to identify Troy’s strengths and weaknesses (S-W), as well as broader opportunities and threats (O-T). This process will take place annually throughout the three years of our plan.
Goal Area: Five goal areas emerged through our SWOT process as Troy’s major priorities over the next three years.
Objectives: Objectives are statements of what troy aims to achieve related to each goal area.
Strategic Priorities: The strategic priorities are the components within each goal area that will be studied and strengthened as a result of our strategic plan.
Goal Area Overview: Each strategic priority within all goal areas has an overview that shows how Troy will engage its stakeholders over the three years of the plan.
Goal Area Action Plans: Each goal area has an action plan that lists the steps that Troy will take to achieve our goals and objectives.
Indicator: Each goal area has identified indicators that will be used to gather baseline data and then to develop SMART goals to help us measure our progress towards meeting our goals and objectives.
Instructional Coherence: The degree to which teaching practices, curriculum, assessments, and educational resources are aligned and work together in a coordinated manner to support student learning goals.
Professional Learning Communities: Professional learning communities (PLCs) are groups of educators who collaborate regularly to improve their practice and enhance student learning outcomes. PLCs typically consist of teachers, administrators, and sometimes other school staff members who come together to engage in ongoing, structured dialogue, reflection, and learning activities.
Retention Rate: A metric that measures the percentage of employees who remain employed over a specific period of time.
Social Emotional Learning (SEL): Social Emotional Learning is the process of learning and applying skills to understand and manage emotions, build positive interpersonal relationships, and set and achieve goals resulting in academic and personal success.
Turnover Rate: A metric that measures the number of separations over a specific period of time.
Exit Interview: An interview held with an employee about to leave an organization, typically in order to discuss the employee's reasons for leaving and their experience of working for the organization.
Allocations Process: The process that involves the distribution of staffing resources across different schools and departments based on the approved budget. This process considers various factors such as enrollment figures, specific needs of schools, and overall educational priorities. The goal is to ensure that staffing resources are distributed equitably and strategically to enhance educational outcomes across the district.
Enrollment Data: The records of the number of students registered to attend the schools within the district. This data is critical as it affects funding calculations, resource allocation, and planning for facilities and staffing needs. Within the enrollment data, there is also data showing enrollment for specific programs such as bilingual, early childhood, and special education.
Budget: A budget is a detailed financial plan that outlines projected income and expenditures for a specific fiscal year. The budget covers various costs including salaries, building maintenance, supplies, transportation, and special programs. The development of the budget involves assessing past expenses, forecasting future costs, and aligning them with the educational goals of the district. It also takes into account projected revenues from state funding, local property taxes, federal grants, and other sources.
Budget Hearing: A formally scheduled public meeting that allows members of the community to review and comment on the proposed budget of the school district before it is finalized and approved. This is an important part of the transparency and accountability processes in school governance, ensuring that the public has a chance to voice opinions or concerns about how the district plans to allocate and spend its funds.
Facilities Projects: Facilities projects refer to initiatives aimed at constructing, renovating, or maintaining physical school buildings and infrastructure. These projects can range from building new schools or additions, upgrading existing classrooms, improving energy efficiency, to repairing critical infrastructure like heating and plumbing systems. The goal of these projects is to enhance the learning environment, ensure safety, and meet the evolving needs of the student population and staff.
Facilities Planning Committee: A group composed of various stakeholders, such as school administrators, teachers, parents, and community members, tasked with overseeing and guiding the development and execution of a long term facilities plan within a school district. This committee works together to assess the current and future needs of school facilities, plan upgrades or new construction, and ensure that projects align with the educational goals and budget constraints of the district. The collaborative approach allows for diverse input and consensus-building, aiming to make decisions that best serve the educational community.
Plan-Do-Study-Adjust Cycle: The PDSA cycle is a continuous improvement framework used to test changes, analyze results, and refine processes through an ongoing four-step loop. It allows organizations to systematically diagnose problems, pilot solutions on a small scale, and study data to either scale what works or pivot what doesn't.

Two surveys, Panorama and 5Essentials, are used to gather perception data from each of our stakeholder groups (i.e., Teachers, Staff, Students, and Families). Administrators and staff evaluate this data and create action plans in response to identified priorities and monitor the impact of action plans. All students in grades 3 - 8 complete the Panorama Survey and all students in grades 4 - 8 complete the 5Essentials Survey. Panorama Survey indicators will be used to measure progress for the safety strategic priority.
The Panorama Survey is administered by Troy School District three times a year (fall, winter, and spring). Students, Teachers/Staff, and Parents answer questions across 5 - 7 domains. Panorama Survey results are designed to allow comparison among district schools, among like-schools, and against national results. The district is provided with comparative growth data across stakeholders and domains with each administration. The results of these surveys provide robust information for continuous improvement action plans.

The University of Chicago 5Essentials survey is required by the Illinois State Board of Education. The survey is designed to evaluate school climate and culture across various dimensions: effective leaders, collaborative teachers, involved families, supportive environment, and ambitious instruction. Overall performance scores are listed as: well-organized, organized, moderately organized, partially organized, or not yet organized for improvement. This survey, coupled with the Panorama Survey results, provides valuable information for the district’s continuous improvement work.
2023 5Essentials results reveal that two of seven schools are organized or well-organized for improvement.

Social Emotional Learning
The Devereux Student Strengths Assessment (DESSA) Mini is a strengths-based social emotional competency screening assessment used to identify students who may benefit from additional social emotional instructional support. The screener, completed by teachers through the Branching Minds platform, includes 8 questions per student. Results from the screener can be used to identify the need for tiered support through the Multi-Tiered System of Supports (MTSS) model. Tiered interventions should effectively address the needs of the majority, with a target of 90% of children scoring in Tiers 1 and 2.

| Results: | 91.2% of children fall in Tier 1 and 2 |
Athletics & Activities
Troy School District is proud to provide a robust offering of athletic and extracurricular activities tailored to enrich the lives of our children. Engagement in these activities can serve as an important indicator of a student’s sense of connection and belonging within the school community.
In the 2023-2024 school year, a total of 2,480 registrations were recorded at the campus level for various activities and athletics. This figure accounts for every individual registration made by students across different activities. Moving forward, this metric will be measured as percent of students participating in at least one activity / sport at the elementary level and campus level.
